/**
 * <p>
 * <b>Purpose</b>: Extension to the existing conversion manager to support the
 * EJB 3.0 spec. 
 * <p>
 * <b>Responsibilities</b>:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Allow a null value default to be read into primitives. With the current
 * conversion manager, setting a null into a primitive causes and exception. 
 * This conversion manager was added to avoid that exception and therefore, add 
 * support for schemas that were built before the object model was mapped 
 * (using a primitive). Therefore, TopLink will not change the null column value 
 * in the database through this conversion. The value on the dataabse will only 
 * be changed if the user actually sets a new primitive value.
 * <li> Allows users to define their own set of default null values to be used
 * in the conversion.
 * </ul>
